See Percentage Cut In School Aid Funds
A $227 million two year school aid bill moved from the appropriations committees to the senate floor despite requests by four Democrats to delay. Gov. Ray’s budget calls for 112 million for 1969 70 and 115 million for 1970 71 in equalization aid with 7 million for special education and 362 thousand for N D E A funds. Authority figures note the bill would cover about 29.6 percent of local budgets in 1969 70 and 28.6 percent in 1970 71, below Ray’s 37 percent estimate. School chief Paul Johnston warns of possible tax hikes. Democrats urge delay. Republicans caution revenue impacts.
